FX Renews "Archer" For Two More Seasons

FX has renewed its acclaimed animated comedy series "Archer" for a sixth and seventh season, extending the series through 2016.

FX has picked up 13 new episodes for each of the new seasons, and there's potential for the show to return beyond then. This also clears the way for the show to go into cable and broadcast syndication.

"Archer" ranks as the second-highest-rated comedy in basic cable among adults 18-49 and adults 18-34. First-run episodes are averaging 1.93 million viewers with the current fifth season the show's most watched ever.
